Properly training your users is the greatest challenge for a SharePoint community.
There are many classes and books and blogs available, but most of the users will be put off by the complexity of most of these resources. Microsoft has a great option, the Microsoft SharePoint Learning Kit, for training available as a individual download, or available as a SharePoint Portal solution complete with Training Site Template if you wish to integrate it into your Portal.
Basically this product contains documentation, interactive lessons and video instruction available on demand when the user chooses.
If you do not have a training budget (and these days who does?) this is a great product to help make the Administrators job easier.
The links for the two downloads are here:
Stand Alone individual download.

Portal download.

The stand alone is very simple and straightforward, while the Portal is a bit more unwieldy as it is a Solution that needs to be added to your farm and configured.
I will post my experience on setting that up shortly, it was successful, but a bit of a time consuming process.
